CAMINO SILVER, WINTER & PREMIUM PILGRIMAGES

Other than the Via Francigena and the Le Puy caminos, all caminos travel through Spain at some point to get to Santiago de Compostela. We have chosen the best accommodations and walks on various routes and within routes to allow you to taste the Camino or Caminos in real comfort, truly, and, in some cases, real luxury.

We also walk the final 100km, which qualifies you for the Pilgrim’s Passport, the Credencial del Peregrino ( see below for more information). As you walk, you can get your passport stamped by every church, restaurant, bar, or accommodation; each has a unique stamp. Collecting them is fun. At Santiago, you go to the Pilgrim’s office behind the square and get your credential certified.

Auswalk is Australia’s oldest dedicated walking holiday company, delivering self-guided and guided walks worldwide.

With over 30 years of experience, 30,000+ satisfied guests, and more than 3 million kilometres walked, you’re in expert hands!

OVERVIEW

The Camino Pilgrim’s Passport, also known as the Credencial del Peregrino, is an official document that serves as a record of your journey along the Camino de Santiago. Pilgrims carry this booklet to collect stamps (sellos) from albergues, churches, cafes, and other locations along the route. Each stamp marks your progress and provides a tangible record of your pilgrimage.

The Pilgrim’s Passport is essential for those seeking to receive the Compostela, the certificate awarded upon completing at least the last 100 kilometers on foot (or 200 kilometers by bicycle) to Santiago de Compostela. It also grants access to pilgrim accommodations, such as albergues, which often require proof of your status as a pilgrim.

Some other names for the Pilgrim’s Passport include:

  • Pilgrim’s Credential
  • The Credencial
  • Camino Passport

This document is not just practical but also a meaningful keepsake, capturing the memories of your journey and the places you’ve visited along the Camino.

Climate/Weather and best time to go

There are better times than others to walk the Camino. On almost all of the Caminos spring and autumn is the best time. Mid-summer can be a little warmer. Early winter is possible but the accommodations along the route are less likely to be open.

You will have to check the weather for each destination, especially through the Pyranees. We have provided more detailed information on the specific walk’s website page for each destination.
